Due to work, I haven't got to do much cooking at all for the past two months. Had a little free time today and I thought why not. With shrimp and crab season in full swing, I thought I would go that route instead of Q. Nothing big as this was just a tune up cook to get back in the swing of things. 
Ingrediants and brands I prefer. 

Fresh sweet corn out of a friends patch. 

Various additions. 

Fresh soft shells cleaned. 

Getting them ready. 

In the hot peanut oil they go. 



Some good Gulf shrimp. 



Some shrimp and stuff for the boil. 



I thought what the heck, I would deep fry a few claws as well. 



The finale. For better or worse. 

Again, nothing big or fancy. But it turned out pretty good for a tune up cook. For the record, if I had Rons money I would have cooked ten times this amount. As always, I hope that y'all enjoy this small tune up cook. And thanks for looking my friends. May the Seafood Gods keep us all ever in their good grace.

    Thanks man. My wife asked me to replace the sausage with potatoes and jalapeños. She is kind of weird =)

    Brother skinny, this meal was purchased with some of the last money that I emasssd during the Glory Days of Big Ron. Once I start having to live off of what Obummer has dwindled me down to, I will be eating potted meat and crackers.

    Always my friend. If I make shrimp, catfish is a given. They go together like liberals and lies my friend.
